Xiaohong stared at Zongzheng Xiaoting blankly, and saw her face suddenly glowing with a strange light. She couldn't help swallowing her saliva. This second princess really loves money! No wonder Qingqing repeatedly told these maids and servants that if anyone wanted to see the princess, if it involved money and jade, they must not take the initiative to drive the person away, and must report everything to the princess.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sweat for herself. If it weren't for Qingqing's repeated instructions, she would have just fired the man who was talking nonsense. At that time, she would definitely be punished by the princess. She was always trembling with fear when she served as a princess. Otherwise, she would not have been assigned to Yunxiao Court by the prince. Although the prince was arrogant and indifferent, at least as long as she followed the prince's rules, talked less and did more, she would be safe. However, Princess Xiaoting is the most troublesome now. She loves money like her life, which is beyond the rules for the prince. Now, this person wants to see the prince and is still paid a lot. If this goes on for a long time, I'm afraid the princess will even dare to sell her official position?

But……

If I don't tell the princess, I'm afraid she won't be able to escape the blame, right?

Just when Xiaohong was feeling anxious, Zongzheng Xiaoting's joyful voice made Xiaohong's heart hang in the balance. "Xiaohong, invite the people in right away. Qingqing, invite the prince back right away!"

Xiaohong looked at Zongzheng Xiaoting with shining eyes, and suddenly there was a dull pain between her eyebrows. Please, Prince? Immediately?

At this moment, Xiaohong could only bite the bullet and do as her master wanted. She had not forgotten the order that the prince had given the moment the princess moved into Yunxiao Courtyard. Princess Xiaoting's intention was the prince's intention.

Seeing Xiaohong's uneasy face, Zongzheng Xiaoting smiled and said, "Your Highness, someone will go and invite you. I will never let a loyal person suffer for no reason. Please go down."

"Yes!" Xiaohong looked at Zongzheng Xiaoting with gratitude, then returned to her usual manners and retreated without saying anything more.

Seeing Xiaohong walking away, Zongzheng Xiaoting withdrew his gaze. Qingqing at the side also came forward and said, "Princess, you treat Xiaohong a little differently."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting heard this, glanced at Qingqing, and nodded with a faint smile, "Among the maids in Yunxiao Courtyard, she is the most simple and down-to-earth."

"It would be even better if loyalty was added." Qingqing said with a double meaning.

"Let's wait and see." Zong Zheng Xiaoting nodded, "Go and ask Situ Xunxiao to come back."

"Yes!" Qingqing left, leaving Zongzheng Xiaoting, looking at the setting sun, with a confident smile on her face. She knew Ningshuang's ability, and it was not difficult for everyone in Kyoto to know about it in such a short time. However, the person who dared to take a gamble so quickly, asked for an audience according to his own preferences, and confidently asked to paint for Situ Xunxiao directly, could only be a conspiracy.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting half-closed his eyes. The setting sun outlined the red of the sunset, and the sky was stained with a faint intoxication. There was really no reason to refuse someone who came to give him money in such a comfortable evening. As for who came up with such a stupid idea, it was hard to imagine.

However...

It was hard for Gong Yunfei to convince Gong Yunluo to do this. To know whether she valued money as her life, she needed such an opportunity to test it. If she really valued money as her life, but was cautious under such temptation, it would prove that she was not a pushover. After weighing the pros and cons, Gong Yunfei would naturally look for other opportunities. And if she really loved money without limit, then this move would definitely be disliked by Situ Xunxiao. Taking this opportunity to wipe out Situ Xunxiao's good impression of her was what she wanted to see the most. It seemed that she had made a very clever plan to kill two birds with one stone.

It's just a pity that Situ Xunxiao and I are just playing around, and this trap is exactly what I need. What's more, the money is delivered to my door, so I would rather miss it.

After a round of analysis, Zong Zheng Xiaoting slowly walked towards Nanyuan, with a deeper smile on his face. Zong Zheng Xiaoting cautiously called Yuan Xian and Wei Zixin. This unknown enemy is the most difficult to guess. It would be easier to deal with it with a guard, right? What's more, Gong Yunfei might not play by the rules and look for someone to assassinate him, right?

Wei Zixin and Yuan Xian followed Zong Zheng Xiaoting closely, and Zong Zheng Xiaoting approached Nanyuan step by step. Thinking that someone was taking out money to lure her in, and the white silver was flying towards her quickly, she felt much happier.

After turning a few corners, Zong Zheng Xiaoting arrived at the main hall of Nanyuan, and saw a beautiful woman looking eagerly towards the door of the front hall. Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at her for a long time, and the smile on his face deepened. This woman had seductive eyes and was charming and beautiful. Wasn't she obviously threatening him? As expected, Gong Yunfei was not a pushover, and kept testing him. If he cared about her, it would prove that she was worse than Situ Xunxiao in her love for money, and that would tell her that she, Zong Zheng Xiaoting, could not keep her. If he didn't care, that was exactly what she wanted. Alas, it was really hard for her to waste so many brain cells.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting suddenly stopped and tilted his head slightly, "Is there anyone spying on us?"

Wei Zixin and Yuan Xian, who were standing by, naturally understood what the master wanted to know with this sudden question. Wei Zixin frowned slightly, looked at Yuan Xian, and then moved his gaze to the beautiful woman in front of him, and then nodded. Wei Zixin whispered, "To answer the princess, there is no one spying around, but the woman in the main hall is quite skilled, so the princess should be careful."

"Oh?" Zongzheng Xiaoting raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the woman in the main hall. Judging from the situation, the person who came was not friendly. "I didn't say to take action later. You are not allowed to take action when my life is not in danger. If this Prince Zhan is here, you don't need to take action at all. Do you understand?"

Although he was listening to his master's instructions, Wei Zixin's brows were still tightly locked. The two of them had no choice but to say yes and quietly followed Zong Zheng Xiaoting in. As soon as they entered, the woman came up with a swaying figure, and saluted Zong Zheng Xiaoting with a smile, "I am Liu Cheng, a commoner, and I am honored to meet Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at the beauty's eyes, her sweet voice made people's hearts tingle, and his smile deepened. More importantly, during the ceremony, Liu Cheng handed over the small wooden box in a very appropriate way, "I have a treasure, and I have always wanted to find a suitable owner to present it. Today I met the princess, and I feel that the princess's status is suitable for it. I hope the princess will not reject it."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting stared at the wooden box with sparkling eyes, trembling slightly with excitement that he could hardly hide.
